Yes, but since it’s only from free rides, this mostly affects situations where you rode with a pace partner and got a significant draft. If you avoid the routes used by pace partners, there are still a lot of places where you can find your former self riding mostly alone.
Hi Amanda. In principal a great idea, but in reality, i can see that many people join Zwift as a free ride option unless they are new to the platform. I know for sure, im always either Group riding, racing, training, meet ups and probably the most popular pace partners. Granted you are enabling in Pace Partners, but wouldnt it be great to ride Epic KoM, Volcano KoM or even Adz in events and try and chase down your avatar.
Also are the segments just the ones that are marked on the road or do they include Strava Segments. I know thats always my point of reference. Obviously it would be great to see simalar live segments like you get on Strava Premium.
Im sure it will be popular and hopefully the feature will graduate from Future works.
Keep up the great work.

Should read Can’t
I have nothing against enabling the feature in more contexts, but I think you’re mistaken about experienced riders not using free rides. Many do. Many don’t. Also Zwift knows all of this - they have the data. My guess is the decision about where to enable it in the first release of this feature is more about the desire to release it now than a comment about who would want to use it.
I think it is along those lines. Any route that has a timed segment within Zwift, such as Hilly Loop, London Loop, Flatland Loop (Makuri), etc. I think.
Finally I can now get dropped by myself. I like this and I haven’t even tried it yet.
It hasn’t. Tom is…meaning of course I am, haha…still here in the real world for the moment.
what am I missing?
Based on Flint’s note, theoretically it will be these …
I think expanding the 90 day to 12 months would be smart (maybe a settings option) as we’ll have more chance of having previous data for more segments, particularly for the less popular segments like Ventop, Epic KOM, AdZ etc (and less draft effect from other riders so ghost will likely be more accurate of own performance).
Edit - I didn’t check which if these also routes
Use any course you like, there’s one for every land and several for Watopia.
For long rides use the Alp or Ventoux.
Innsbruck is fairly long as well,
This is great to hear. I’ll give it a go soon. I already know I’m going to want to have it available on all routes or even all rides, not just the timed segments, and that I’m going to want more than the last 90 days (I used to use it constantly on Tacx Training System way back when that was a thing, and it was great motivation), but hopefully those things will come with time and until then this sounds like a great step, thank you!
I think I’m going to want an in-ride on/off button, either to turn my ghostly self on occasionally (if I don’t use it much), or to turn it off
Definitely this. For me I’d like to see an on/off button added in the companion app.

*We haven’t yet tested every segment to confirm HoloReplay is working where stated.
Definitely works on Volcano Circuit.
The way your HoloReplay sits at the end of the segment waiting, taunting you … I hate that guy.
I was curious what a fan view of someone else would show in a segment so I did a fan view of a rider near me and while in that mode, I could see MY holo rider. I wasn’t expecting to see theirs but was surprised mine showed up in their view. I’m not sure if that’s intended behaviour or not but it’s interesting.
mine showed up in their view.
It is still your view. They can’t see yours.
Is it best 90 days regardless of device you use?
So if you switch between Ipad, ATV & PC?
Great job, cool feature. All time PR would certainly make it a lot more useful, but I’m guessing there’s some storage and retrieval issues with that.
I don’t see why any more storage unless you are suggesting all time and recent PR be stored so extra set of ghosts.
What might be nice is having it customisable so i can set the timescales. likes of alp or ventop i want to look back way further than 90 days.
It is still your view. They can’t see yours.
Yes I know, I didn’t word that well.
